Indeed, this has great potential not only for NA but for Europe as well

This helped make my Monday Morning!!!

It was reported a little earlier on that Chrysler is sticking to it's guns regarding it's SRT group, which also helped make my day when I caught this report. Then I see the preview and on-line shots of the next-generation Grand Cherokee, and saw in in person at NYAIS this past Saturday (4/11) and I found it even more impressive in person! It leads me to believe that Chrysler is also sticking to it's guns by going back to a more organic, elegant design-language versus the lumpier, blockier type apparent on some model-lines with the exception of the Challenger, which is pure retro/heritage.

Now, this Monday Morning (4/13), I see the rendering of the next-generation of the GC SRT, on this site, and other automotive enthusiast and news sites, and I had wondered to myself before that of there will even be an SRT of the new GC - this answers that question! The Challenger is new, an LY, and there's an SRT of that, and this also leads me to believe that there will also be an SRT of the next-generation Chrysler 300 and the Charger.

Speaking of Chrysler, it now appears to be poised a little bit better than GM at this point (the time of this posting) and I also wholeheartedly support the merger/partnership/cooperation with the Fiat group - great things can result on both ends. Ford is maintaining, and Chrysler is moving forward and sticking with plans (RWD models, SRT program, better interiors, new Pentastar V6), and the Pentastar (nee Phoenix) V6 program is a major step up, too.
